The initiator of the tournament, Dr Bankole Allibay, shared his excitement on the successful hosting of divisional qualifiers. The Environmental Social and Governance (ESG) expert further assured of a world-class organisation in the state championship.
In his words, “I believe we were able to tick all the boxes across the five divisions we set for top-class divisional qualifiers in March, and this we were able to achieve.
“Our focus is now on the state championship in November; we have our sixteen (16) finalists across the five divisions of Lagos, so, football fans should expect a top-class event in the third season of the Spires 5-Aside Naija Street Soccer Tournament,” Allibay added.
All is now set for the much-anticipated season three of the Spires 5-Aside Naija Street Soccer state championship after a successful qualifying campaign in Ikorodu, Epe, Lagos Island, Badagry, and Ikeja.
